Trump (perhaps even writing it himself) has had his DOJ file a political screed masquerading as a new motion filed with the wrong court, with the wrong judge, making the wrong arguments, and misstating the facts, about the current state of the ballroom construction project to try to further exploit the tragedy averted at the WHCD on Saturday. Popok explains why this is doomed to fail, as Trump’s filing reads like a late-night social media post of his, signed by his former co-counsel in the Mar-a-Lago criminal case, and highlights “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a legal ground to have an injunction, already blocked, blocked!

In less than 48 hours after the national tragedy averted at the White House Correspondence Dinner, the Trump Administration has launched a renewed campaign to demonize the Democratic Party, and crush first amendment dissent, criticism and freedom of the press, in a way not seen since the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing. Popok briefs our audience on new attacks emanating from the White House, and what we can do now in response.

The media is usually on the other side of the “v,” being sued by Trump, or criminally investigated by or indicted by Trump’s DOJ. But now, for the first time in a groundbreaking suit, journalist and legal commentator and Meidas contributor Katie Phang has sued the Trump DOJ in federal court for its continued cover-up of the Epstein child sex scandal. Popok briefs the audience on the new suit and on Trump’s being exposed on a related subject by 60 Minutes, of all platforms, during an interview in the aftermath of the WHCD tragedy.

The attempted indictment of Trump political foe and former CIA Director John Brennan has hit a major roadblock in the form of Chief Judge Boasberg, who presides over all the grand juries in DC, including the one the DOJ is using to go after Brennan. Popok examines the curious new data point that the MAGA team assigned to the case, including Judge Aileen Cannon’s former law clerk, have rescinded the newly issued grand jury subpoenas to witnesses to appear in DC, as they grapple with having to go through Boesberg to obtain the indictment, a judge who just recently quashed a criminal probe of another Trump foe, in a jurisdiction that just recently refused to indict 6 of Trump’s political critics!

In breaking news, Trump’s DOJ may have folded again and has announced that it will be “closing” the already court-terminated criminal investigation into the Fed and its Chair Jay Powell, but it may not be closing it after all. Which begs the question: Will this too smart by half announcement of a criminal case that is both closed and not closed (a la Schrodinger’s famous cat), satisfy the requirement of Republican Senator Tom Tillis, who will block the confirmation of the next Fed Chair unless the criminal case is ended once and for all?

In breaking news, FBI Kash Patel’s attempts to litigate his way into proving that he is not prone to “excessive drinking” on the job, has backfired spectacularly in just 24 hours as the House Democrats demand that he take an alcohol abuse test and submit for sworn testimony about his security clearance and possible drinking; Patel’s own outburst at a press conference calls into question is suitability for the job; new public records requests seek his credit cards and travel expense records, and a federal judge dismisses an earlier efamation case Patel bragged about that brought against a former FBI leader about —what else— his partying in nightclubs instead of doing his job. Popok ties this whirlwind together as the drum beat to replace him grows louder.

Breaking: Laura Loomer just got “Loomered” by a Florida Federal judge and father of Republican Senator Ashley Moody, who not only entered final judgment dismissing her defamation case against comic Bill Maher for joking about a possible romantic relationship between Trump and her, but also spent 18 pages outlining in excruciating detail the allegations about Trump and Loomer’s relationship and its impact on Melania, along with using Loomer’s own deposition and words against her. Popok explains how this is the third loss in a month by Trump, Kash Patel and now Loomer, in a defamation case and explains why this strategy is failing so miserably.

Breaking: Beleaguered FBI Director Kash Patel’s attempt to sue his way to rehab his career just hit a “hard place” in the assignment of Senior Judge Emmitt Sullivan to the “$250 million dollar” defamation case against the Atlantic magazine. As the Atlantic stands by its reporting, Popok examines defamation cases, and what the Atlantic is likely to do next in motion practice and in discovery that may make quick work of this case and have the opposite result Patel intended.

Forget trying to show “independence” and “independence” as a future Chair of the Fed Reserve. Kevin Warsh got tripped up when he wouldn’t piss off Trump by admitting that Trump lost the 2020 election!. Popok compares Warsh’s feckless performance to recent courageous statements made by Jay Powell, and explains how Republican Senator Tom Tillis signaled to Trump that he will block Warsh getting the job unless Trump drops the criminal case against the Fed and Jay Powell.
